take you by surprise because in
winter there had been no evi­dence,
and no promise of the vig­orous
loveliness to come. There
is a place on the way from QA to
Schaefer Hall where there are al­most
always birds: cardinals, blue
jays, robins, and these little
speckly brown birds, all twitter­ing
and fluttering and seeming so
cheerful (perhaps because they
do not have to take calculus ex­ams).
On the asphalt path run­ning
between Monty and QA,
there is a little brook that runs
under the path, and growing out
of the stream are lavish, green
leaves. If you look carefully,
there is almost always a greenish
brown frog hiding under the foli­age.
A specific duck couple fre­quents
this place as well, and they
root in the mud, bottoms up. And,
half a dozen times, at this same
spot, I have seen a white-tailed
cousin of Peter Rabbit scurrying
about his business.
On either side of the dirt path
from QA to the road that runs in
front of the Health Center is a
hollow full of violets. It seems
appropriate that deer would sleep
there to dream sweet fragrant
dreams.
There are droves of buttercups
on either side of the brick path
between the pond and the swamp.
On sunny days, when the butter-

cups catch the light, they remind
me of a poem by Wordsworth
about daffodills and the inward
eye. I loved it when the apple and
cherry tree s bloomed; they
smelled so sweet and seemed to
have a luminosity about them,
even at night. There is also a
white dogwood behind
Dorchester that looks like a pale

angel against the dark green, or
like the sea foam that laces the
edge of a wave.
Surely, all of the hidden pretty
places on this campus have not
been exhausted. I look forward
to discovering more, maybe next
spring. However, even these
beauty spots do not hold all the
charm of spring. There is some­thing
solidly wonderful about the
damp, fecund smell of the dark
ground that makes you want to
put down roots, or celebrate it
with ancient blessings.
There is something about softly
new green grass that makes you
want to roll in it, as though maybe
you could rub some of the fresh
liveliness into yourself. I could
spend hours making wishes and
blowing on dandelions gone to
seed to see whether my wishes
will come true (make a wish,
blow, and if all the seeds fly away,
your wish will be granted).
Spring is in full bloom at St.
Mary’s and our campus truly re­flects
the essence of growth and
beauty found in the outside earth.
